    Henry Brown “I” (left his will in Essex Co., VA in 1733/1734) and his wife Keziah Jones had a son who was named Henry Brown “II,” and Henry “II” left Essex Co., VA in the early-1760s and moved to the Lunenburg/Mecklenburg Co., VA area. A son of Henry “II” named Henry Brown “III,” however, stayed behind in Essex Co., VA on the “family land,” until he moved to King and Queen Co., VA by the late-1760s. Another son of Henry Brown “I” and Keziah Jones of Essex Co., VA named Mordecai Brown was in Culpeper Co., VA with some of his relatives for a while, but he appears to have also spent some time in North Carolina (he was possibly the Mordecai Brown who was in Bute Co., NC in 1768). An apparent son of Henry “III” named Henry Brown “IV” (married Frances Gipson/Gibson) left Virginia and moved to the Mercer Co., KY area, as did his brother Charles Brown. The most recent “DNA match” to “Group 10” has ancestors who were in Georgia by the late-1700s. That “branch” of the overall family APPEARS to “trace back” to a William Brown who was in Wilkes Co., NC by the 1760s or so, and who was associated with some members of the Tribble family there. Research continues on this, but that William Brown MAY have been another son of the above-referenced Abraham Brown in Caroline Co., VA (who had married Mary Tribble). The referenced Browns in Georgia included Meredith G. Brown, Peter Brown, Fannin Brown and John George Washington Brown. Some other members of this overall Brown family moved to TN and/or SC, including a couple of men with the unusual name of Aris Brown (both were descendants of Henry Brown “II”).
